    I have not had one but I can tell you my LFS had one for a while and it was meaner than a cat during a bath! It did like to hide under the rock but when you would go near its tank it would come out and try to attack the glass! I don't know what it was like once someone took him home!

    I got one from mikey when we broke his tank down, and I havent had any problems with. Its hit or miss when it comes to a lot of things for reef tanks. Ive seen Tangs that would eat corals but then again Ive seen Angels that wouldn't touch them.

    I have one, and always hides. The only time I can see it is in the nocturnal coral feeding.
